You know what, I came off as unnecessarily confrontational on the Skyrim comment, and for that I apologise. However, you do seem to take every opportunity that presents itself to talk about how you dislike the game. You are welcome to your opinion on Skyrim, but at this point I'm fairly sure everyone is aware of your opinions on it, and having a known opinion be declared repeatedly is both unnecessary and rather tedious. Could you perhaps scale it back a bit?
I can't actually recall the last time I "declared" my opinion on Skyrim.

On point two, the combat applications are there; in Morrowind/Oblivion terms, think of it as a temporary Disposition boost. The character will no longer attack you as they think you're their best friend, and in the middle of a fight will be suddenly confused and disorientated about why you, their great pal they'd do almost anything for, are fighting with their companions. At the least, that temporarily disables them as a combatant as they're trying their way around the spell, but ideally it sets them up to being incredibly vulnerable to being stabbed in the neck. It's not super-powerful, but it has its applications.
But charm spells already function exactly as you've described. According to the UESPWiki a sufficiently powerful one will stop an enemy attacking temporarily, so it's completely redundant.
Perhaps we could change Command so that it works as it does in the game(without its feature of making enemies fight to the death whenever it's used), but leaves Sinyon unable to cast any other spells while its active?

Why don't we make it like this? Command Spell magnitude = Caster's Willpower vs Target's Willpower? Kinda like the Ring of Sauron, for lack of a better example.
Mindless animals, beasts, creatures and people of very weak persuasion will be completely consumed by the Command, yeah.
Those who are of average Willpower (average enemies) will suffer the effects you guys said; they can't think straight, they are confused because their 'Bestest Friend' (the caster) is having a duel to the death with their companions, and generally they would be temporarily disabled as a combatant in the middle of the fight.
And those who have logically high willpower (high level enemies) would simply be disturbed, a Mage just tried to impose their will on them after all, but would mostly be unaffected.

Eh, I still think that the confusion should be caused by altered perception rather than disposition, just because the Charm spell only alters disposition and can have that exact effect.
But apart from that, sounds like a plan. I'll get to work on Sinyon's spell list.

When I use Illusion, it's always had people see enemies or something that would make them panic and attack. Mind control is pretty dark

Right, Sinyon's character sheet now contains his spell list, as requested.
And it appears to be Rohrrim's turn now.

I will take this as a chance to clean some things in the RP, as well as create a "Codex Thread" for our perusal. The main gist of it is that it would be an information thread of sorts that will allow us to keep track of what is going on, as well as entries of the RP's more important NPCs, places, events, backstories etc. It would also include a Bestiary. More details on how this Codex would work will be included in its Thread once I make it.

Alright, little announcement my fellow Corpses under Sutch. Liz has been laid out by a minor case of bad allergies; minor, but she doesn't have the energy to do this right now. So until she returns to us I, your most humble and benevolent GM, will take temporary control of her characters.
Until she comes back the Posting Order will be thus;

Still up for it, I was gonna post later. Got rather sidetracked yesterday.

Hmm, seems I'm in the minority on this.
I guess we're taking a break?

Ah crap, sorry, I forgot it was my turn. I'll try and post something today, if not tomorrow.

Alright you fabulous madmen and madwomen, I'm going to ghost for a while. A little bit of RL stuff mingled with new jobs demand my attention so for the next few weeks Chorrol will be without its insane detainee and oh-so benevolent GM.
I'm pretty sure you guys are busy too, so take this as a chance to take a breather. If I come back and you guys are still up for this, that'll be good. If not, well...
Anyway I'll see you all I when I get back.

Just as well really. I still can't figure out a way for Sinyon to survive the ambush. My gut's telling me he's a goner, but that could be down to the mood I'm in at present.
Hopefully Liz will be back by then too.
